About

A life with photography, art, & caffeine in Lake Orion, Michigan.

▬ ASHLEY NICHOLE ▬
Hi! I'm Ashley Nichole, and I love to laugh, drink whiskey, decorate, and shop. I'm a twenty-something Cancerian girl camped out in Lake Orion, Michigan, a small town that makes me dream of much bigger ones. I share my life with my thirty-something Scorpio boyfriend Brian, and together we share our home with our three kitties: San, Milo, & Heidi. I've been formally trained in interior design and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA). While interior design is a great love of mine, I've found that graphic design soothes my soul creatively. I probably spend equal amounts of time redecorating my home & looking at interiors online as I do taking photos & creating digital artwork. I recently left all my part-time jobs for one full-time one, and I love it. Some days it’s hard & almost unbearable, but after all is said & done, I truly enjoy it. Otherwise, you can usually find me kicking around home – perusing the internet; listening to music; taking & editing photos; baking, cooking, & snacking; playing The Sims 3; crocheting; painting; dyeing my hair; reading; making jewelry; whipping up cocktails; cleaning; trying to maintain my Etsy shop; and/or sleeping. I also love to shop for goodies for my home as well as for myself. Occasionally a gift for someone else will end up in the cart too. I usually come home with new furniture, textiles, clothes, or makeup. I go weak in the knees for beautiful views, inspiring images, and rich tiramisu, and my heart will melt for a handsome smile, a kind gesture, and a kitten’s meow.

▬ PINK LOVES PURPLE ▬
This rendition of my online life, Pink Loves Purple, was officially created November 2011. Previously I'd had many other online sites, including personal websites Busted Scooter, & azie designs, and personal online journals before that. I've had a handful of Etsy shops as well, including azie designs, Keep Warm, & photoshopped. My current online stores are now at PINKXOPURPLE.ETSY.COM where I sell photography + art prints, & PINKXOPURPLECROCHET.ETSY.COM where I sell crocheted goodies.

My blog is where I try to organize my thoughts and share my personal life, things I like, stuff I'm selling, and ideas I want to try. There’s no rhyme or reason really, just like my mind. Hopefully, you enjoy following along, so let’s be blog friends :)

Around the web

Shop members

Ashley Nichole

Owner

Pink Loves Purple is my baby - I create most of the items (unless otherwise specified in the listing), and I do all the photographing, listing managing, shipping, and online presence correspondence. I definitely wish there was more time in the day!

Maureen

Crocheter

My mom, Maureen, makes a lot of the crocheted goodies here at Pink Loves Purple. Many times, she doesn't use any patterns and lets her creative mind mold the item into a One Of A Kind piece that you can truly treasure.

Brian

Assistant

Brian is my muse and my model. Often, I'll ask him to pose with an item or to glance over listings to give me a fresh pair of eyes.

Shop policies

Last updated on24 October, 2014

Pink Loves Purple items are made entirely by me (Ashley) unless otherwise stated in the individual listing. Crochet listings are marked as "Ashley's" (made by me) or "Mom's" (made by my mom).

I like to create things that I personally would use and appreciate. Each item has countless amounts of time, energy, and love put into them in the hopes that they will find a place in your heart as well. ♥

Returns and exchanges

|| CANCELLATION POLICY || If for any reason, an order needs to be cancelled, please contact me personally as soon as possible (you can private message me here, or email me) so that we can arrange something. Please see below for more information.

|| REFUNDS/EXCHANGES || Issued on a case-by-case basis. Reimbursement may include but is not limited to full or partial refund, store credit, and/or item exchange. In most cases, shipping will not be reimbursed, and the customer will be responsible for all shipping charges to send back items if necessary. Items mailed back MUST be insured by the buyer.

Shipping

• Items ship from US zip code 48360 via USPS.
• I ship to the address listed on your Etsy account (not Paypal). No other address will be accepted (via Notes to Seller, etc.)
• All items are carefully packed and sealed to prevent damage from normal shipping, and I don't like to be wasteful, so sometimes I reuse gently-used packaging.

|| TRACKING || I use Etsy's shipping labels, so you are always provided with a tracking number.

|| HANDLING TIMES || For all ready-to-ship items, I mail out within 1-7 business days (or about once to twice a week). Made to order items are set to be created and mail out within 1-7 weeks (contact me for an up-to-date estimate).

|| SHIPPING TIMES || Approximate shipping times are as follows:
US:
• Standard Shipping: 3-7 business days
• Priority Shipping: 1-3 business days
• Express Shipping: 1 business day

International:
• Standard Shipping: varies by destination
• Priority Shipping: 6-10 business days *to many major markets
• Express Shipping: 3-5 business days *to many major markets

|| INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMS || Residents of some countries may have to pay customs or other charges prior to receiving their order. Because these charges are levied by your government and are specific to your country, I cannot tell you how much (if anything) this will be. You are responsible for any customs or charges that may incur. If you choose not to pay these charges, your package will not be released by customs and may be destroyed. In this event, I will be unable to offer you a refund.

For most accurate and up-to-date shipping times & deadlines, please visit http://postcalc.usps.com and enter location information.

Additional policies and FAQs

|| COUPON CODE POLICY || Etsy's options for coupon codes are EXTREMELY limited. I try to offer a variety of sales periodically, but I am unable to set up anything further than a simple percentage/amount-off or free shipping. I cannot set limitations within the site to dictate coupon usage. All coupon codes are given out based on the Honesty Policy. Please don't use coupon codes for uses other than stated; I WILL cancel any orders violating this policy. For example, if coupon code "ABC" is for use on Item 123 only, please do not purchase that item and a bunch of others in the same order - Etsy will not allow me to direct the discount to a single item, only an entire order. You can help change this policy by contacting Etsy and asking them to allow sellers more control over Coupon Codes. Thank you for understanding.
